I don't get too worked up about the fortunes of other teams but I was really looking forward to Montreal's season. I hope Laine's knee isn't badly injured.

As far as intent goes, it's a way more complicated thing than arguments on the internet about it can take into consideration. Players use their legs to impede each other all the time without causing injury and they don't have time to determine whether a certain instance of doing it presents more risk. A lot of supposedly clean players have done exactly what Pare did. On the other hand, it's a still a choice on his part. The solution is probably to send death threats to his family on Twitter and Instagram.

Absolutely no intent I mean if you watch it in slow motion he just turns to try and get him up high with his arms his leg goes with them it's pure reactionary
I think he knew where his leg was. But when you do it over and over again throughout your career and there's almost always just glancing contact, you're going to assume that will happen again.

People seem to expect players to constantly consider these things, but the reality is that no player committed to thinking that way would be able to make a pro roster.
